Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, since a transient response inevitably occurs in actual burst-type light emission, it is very possible although it is not necessary to convert the gain, depending on the detection output level corresponding to the amplitude of the transient response fluctuated by the transient response. Gain switching is performed, and since the automatic threshold control circuit generates thresholds that follow the amplitude of the transient response, there is a high possibility of generating false recognition levels

Abstract

It is possible to prevent unintentional gain switching or erroneous identification level generation when a reception signal has a transient response in a light receiver for receiving a burst-shaped light signal. The light receiver includes a pre-amplification unit for converting an output current signal of the reception element into a voltage signal and amplifying it and an identification reproduction unit having an identification circuit for inputting an output signal of the pre-amplification unit and identifying a level of the input signal according to a predetermined threshold value. The pre-amplification unit includes a first average value detection circuit for detecting an average value of its output signal, so that its amplification gain is controlled according to a comparison output between the output of the first average value detection circuit and a predetermined reference voltage. Moreover, the identification reproduction unit includes a second average value detection circuit for detecting an average value of the input signal and the output of the second average value detection circuit is outputted as a threshold value for performing signal identification to the identification circuit.
